i feel like this year will be better for the boyah awards. like the fact that we virtually gave up 3/4 of the way through last year will give us a good opportunity to start fresh(er)
idea: do not use almost any award categories from previous years other than the most obligatory ones
idea #2: anyone who says they'll make a video but misses their deadline is given a new type of dipshit rank that they have to keep until the end of the year. and also they will immediately be replaced and someone else will make the video.
can we keep the worst felt post ever category
no, there's too many to choose from
how can i give boyah mold
also i think it should be a live ceremony
live ceremony is a cool idea
also i think we start these at a different time every year

yeah and there's other services other than livestream to broadcast events like this. obs is easier to use than procaster anyhow so like download that. we can have webcam stream on like rabb.it or google hangouts or whatever site if you want to make it simpler. rtmp streaming doesn't take all that much resources nowadays so like you can fire up a vps and host three simultaneous streams and then compile the different streamers onto like one stream with pictures in picture. livestream is just lame because of the 500 kbps audio + video limit so i don't use it anymore ;-;

we usually start them in may, which is actually pretty convenient as schoolgoing boyagers are off school by the last week of the month
ditch nominations
just mention person you think is good enough for that category
literally ppl just thought to do that since ppl repeated names

this would not work because while there are plenty of award threads where people might repeat names, there are also plenty where they don't
so nominations are definitely staying
Start them with good intentions in probably like a few weeks
Then gradually fade away from them until nothing really results from it
no this year they will be successful
They start when the 2015 awards end
I'd say come up with a list of categories, no user input. Allow 2 weeks (or some relatively short time) for nominations. PM/email all the active Boyagers about nominations with the categories and where to nominate and the deadline. And then do the same for voting, and the same for videos.
And if somebody misses out, then that's too bad.
As for the videos, you could have each person record more than their share. (Or even the whole list if you want to go that far) and then whoever is in charge of editing can mix and match however they want. Especially if some people are late or just don't produce their video.
If the livestreaming doesn't gain any traction.

streaming it doesn't necessarily mean there won't be pre-recorded videos. if someone doesn't record a video, fuck it. do it live. i would like to see the live reactions along with it.
and please lets use google forms
lets not
we can just send in our noms and send tokens for pollmaker to each individual user via pm tbh
we don't have a lot of members so this is manageable
I just looked over google forms and I think it could work with the right options enabled, like requiring login and then whoever's in charge of the form can get notified of each account that submits in order to prevent cheating
though the current process of making a new board makes it very obvious that the awards are going on, where and when to vote, and is kind of a nice tradition because it can be saved and kept track of, i'm sure it's a bit of a nuisance to run things that way, and a link to the google form can just be posted on the news box

i make throwaways on google because i don't want ppl tracking me
i think just manually sending tokens via pms would serve the same purpose since let's be realistic: there's only like fifteen active boyagers at most on any given day. and that's an overestimate.

I didn't think about that, but yeah.
I don't know where or how you could do that but it is a good idea
i'm willing to PARTCIPATE
[spoiler]as a winner of awards[/spoiler]
I could generate the tokens and PM them Out ahead of time and then only accept entries with valid tokens submitted into a specific field
oooOOOO gimme a token
I need to plan out how I'll generate tokens that will be all set by the time the actual voting's up
i can just make a hidden webform on my org's site and u guys can all make accoutns and we can just vote that way wariodood;
I can generate vouchers in the shop that you can redeem for a token item, that you'd use to get your code
I just need to create the ITAM but tha'ts a lot of work
that sounds like all the work
but ya better do it or imma stuff the ballot wariodood;
ok new stretch goal
if 2 more dudes can get 100% quota ill present in a suit happydood;
woah when did you guys both get 100%
i like all these ideas though
when we fuckin POSTED strongbab, stop teachin the kids and get to postin
Did jmv lower the requirement?
My quota is already at an all time high :(
damn i feel like i post abut twice as much as strongbab no offense
